Fig. 4. Measurement of glucose uptake and glucose consumption following Cordyceps Militaris water extract (CMW) treatment.

HepG2 cells were incubated for 20 min in a KRPH buffer containing insulin (1uM) and CMW (1 mg/mL). The 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) assay was performed 20 min later, as detailed in “Methods”. Data were expressed as mean values ± SD and comparisons of data were carried out using one-way ANOVA, as appropriate. ^** P < 0.01, ^*** P < 0.001 vs. control.
